	Cabinet of the United Kingdom - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In formal constitutional terms, the Cabinet is a committee of the Privy Council.
		In practice, and increasingly in recent years, weekly meetings of the full Cabinet have tended to be more concerned with the exchange of information and ratification of decisions, major decisions being taken by Cabinet Committees or in informal groups, often bi-laterals between the Prime Minister and an individual minister.
		Cabinet collective responsibility means that members of the cabinet make decisions collectively, and are therefore responsible for the consequences of these decisions collectively.

	Civil Contingencies Committee - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

	cabinet. The Columbia Encyclopedia, Sixth Edition. 2001-05
		In Great Britain, where the cabinet system originated, it was at first a committee of the privy council and rose to its modern status only after the sovereignty of Parliament had been established by the Glorious Revolution of 1688 and the gradual emergence of party government in the 18th cent.
		The British cabinet is a body of ministers drawn from the party that possesses a majority in the House of Commons; it is responsible to the Commons for the conduct of the administration.
		The cabinet is chosen by the prime minister, who is guided by the necessity of choosing a group that will represent the disparate elements in his party.

	Cabinet
		The secrecy surrounding Cabinet business is defended on the grounds that it is necessary for maintaining Cabinet solidarity, without which Cabinet may lose its hold over the legislature and therefore its right to govern.
		The traditional capacity of the legislature to bring down the government and therefore the Cabinet through a non-confidence vote appears to be losing force, largely because the Cabinet has the power, through its legislative party majority, to prevent such votes, or at worst to refuse to accept their implications or consequences.
		The imbalance between the legislature and the Cabinet is exacerbated by the increasing use of discretionary powers, conferred by the former on the Cabinet collectively or on ministers individually, to legislate by order-in-council or by ministerial order.

		Cabinet 65/1-55 contains the minutes of the War Cabinet beginning with the Cabinet conclusions for 3 September 1939 and ending with the conclusions for 24 July 1945.
		The Chiefs of Staff Committee was composed of the chiefs of the three military services and was responsible for "advising the War Cabinet on any matters affecting, or affected by the military aspect of the conduct of the war." This included manpower, equipment, munitions, logistics, directives to commanders, strategy and relations with allies and neutrals.
		Its function was to advise the War Cabinet on the general conduct of the war, but the mechanics of the Committee did not operate well and its functions were finally absorbed by other committees.

		The British position on this question was consistent with the discussions between the British leaders and Mikolajczyk the previous autumn.

	Roosevelt's `Grand Strategy' to Rid the World of British Colonialism: 1941-1945
		Roosevelt understood the danger that British imperial policies posed to the world, and he was acutely aware that he would have to deal with this threat, in a forceful manner, at the conclusion of the war.

		The British were well aware of Roosevelt's organizing for this new alliance and were trying to gather support from other imperialist powers to help protect the integrity of their Empire and their colonial system prior to the Yalta Conference in February 1945.

	British Efforts Against the Nascent Israeli State
		This was the culmination of a policy developed and pursued by the British throughout their administration of the Mandate -- surely not the least of the great betrayals of the weak by the strong in the twentieth century.
		In a similar spirit, the general strike proclaimed by the Arab Higher Committee (the self-appointed leadership of the Arab community, headed by Haj Amin el Husseini) and imposed on the Arab masses as the central weapon and symbol of the campaign was not resisted by the administration.
		The sanctity of the minutes of the British Cabinet in London has, however, saved one item of direct documentary evidence on the British government's relationship to the "revolt" and to the "rebels." The disturbances were not even mentioned when the Cabinet met soon after they broke out.

	British Cabinet discusses the Trotskyists
		What really seemed to worry the Cabinet was the problem of coal supplies and in the document that follows some time is spent demonstrating (with considerable relief) that the Trotskyists had little support among the miners.
		There is a committee at Sheffield and possibly also at Huddersfield, Barrow and Rugby; and there are small groups of sympathisers on Tyneside, Merseyside and in Nottingham, which Tearse may count as committees.
		While the British Trotskyists follow the line of the sect in regarding the war as a struggle between rival Imperialisms, their policy is not directly aimed either at stopping the war or at procuring the defeat of their country.
